An Unbiased Fact Checker You Can Audit
Bias usually creeps in at the selection stage: which claims get examined and which get ignored. BSmeter removes that human choice by extracting every verifiable claim from a video and scoring each one 0-100 against cited evidence, whether it comes from your side or the other. You never have to take a verdict on faith, because the sources are attached to every score.
What you get
- One Standard for Every Claim: The same evidence-based 0-100 scoring applies to every claim BSmeter finds, no matter who is speaking or which side the answer helps. A senator, a wellness influencer, and a finance guru all face identical scrutiny.
- No Human Picks the Claims: Human fact-checking teams have to select and curate which claims to review, and that selection is where bias questions start. BSmeter's AI extracts every verifiable claim from the transcript automatically, so nothing is chosen and nothing is skipped.
- Verify the Verdict Yourself: Trust in a fact checker should not be required, only earned. Each credibility score comes with cited evidence sources, so you can open the links, weigh the evidence, and decide whether the score holds up.
- Reasoning Flaws Get Named: Beyond true-or-false, BSmeter flags logical fallacies in how an argument is built and detects deepfake and AI-generation signals in the video itself. Weak reasoning gets labeled even when the underlying facts check out.
- Any Platform, Any Side: Paste a YouTube video, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast URL, or let the Chrome or Firefox extension analyze as you watch. Results arrive in seconds to a couple of minutes, and the pipeline is identical whatever the topic or viewpoint.
Frequently asked questions
- How can an AI fact checker actually be unbiased?
- Two design choices do the work. First, BSmeter removes human claim selection: instead of someone deciding which statements deserve review, the AI extracts every verifiable claim from the transcript and scores all of them with the same 0-100 evidence-based rubric. Second, every verdict is auditable, since each score links to its cited sources. You do not have to trust the tool's neutrality; you can open the evidence and check any verdict yourself.
- Does BSmeter lean left or right politically?
- Neither by design. BSmeter is non-partisan and evidence-first: the same 0-100 standard applies to a claim whether it appears in a progressive commentary video or a conservative podcast. And because every score ships with cited sources, you can inspect the reasoning on any claim where you suspect a lean and weigh the evidence yourself.
- How is BSmeter different from traditional fact-checking websites?
- Traditional fact-checking organizations do valuable, deeply researched work, but human hours are finite, so they must select and curate which claims to review, and results can take days. BSmeter takes a different approach: you pick any video on any platform, and it checks every verifiable claim in it, returning 0-100 scores with cited sources within minutes. The two can complement each other; BSmeter simply covers what you are watching right now.
- What does the 0-100 credibility score on each claim mean?
- Every verifiable claim BSmeter extracts gets its own 0-100 credibility score based on how well it holds up against cited evidence sources, with higher scores meaning stronger support. The score is per claim, not per video, so a mostly accurate video with one shaky statistic shows exactly which statement dragged and why. Fallacy flags, deepfake and AI-generation detection, and viewer comment analysis round out the report.
